President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador said he’s optimistic Mexico will reach a deal with the U.S. to halt tariffs and will detail his stance on the threat from President Donald Trump on Saturday.
AMLO, as he’s known, said on Friday that national guard troops will be stationed at Mexico’s southern and northern borders. Asked about reports that the government may have Guatemalans file asylum requests to the U.S. while in Mexico, the president said he wasn’t aware of the details of the negotiations.
